A child subconsciously rejects a fat toy - this despite the mom's clear attempts at having brainwashed her into fat acceptance from an early age and making the CHILD fat too. What more evidence do we need that our most primal brain wiring recognizes fat as diseased?

I always wondered that too. There are many theories as to why obesity is such a strong and pervasive stigma that cannot be eradicated. I think it has a biological origin - fat is disease and fat is too costly to maintain when resources are limited.

My sister is married to a fat man-child for some reason. They have a one year old daughter. When the dad is holding her, she wants me to hold her instead. Maybe just because I remind her of her mother, but I have had the thought myself that it might be because her dad is a sickly slob and that is disturbing to her.

Aw geez, poor kid.
I can say that I recall very clearly as a little kid (5 yo) starting to become disgusted by my dad's bad breath, and trying to avoid being held by him for that reason. So I wouldn't be surprised if your niece is doing exactly as you suspect.
